Bacon utilized empiricism as the basis of his argument. ... Bacon was a supporter of inductive reasoning, which is theories based on specific observations. ... As far as seperation of religion and science, Bacon did not believe religion was an accurate form of religion. Many of the Greek myths and different cultures Gods could be false because no one tested them according to Bacon. ... However, Bacon doesnt deny religion, he just feels the two should be seperated. ... Bacon had a tendency to test things that he thought was true or he believed in. ... Bacon supported seperation between religion and science. ... Bacon criticizes humans for being guilty of worshiping any of the four idols. With the first Idol, of the Tribe, Bacon states, "human understanding is like a false mirror, which, receiving rays irregularly, distorts and discolors the nature of thing by mingling its own nature with it" (Fiero page 79) I believe Bacon is trying to say that human understanding is self reflective.
